This 2004 King County decision concerns a permit application by Glacier Northwest (Northwest Aggregates) to mine and export sand and gravel from Maury Island and replace an aging barge-loading dock on Puget Sound.

Note: this document relates to a Maury Island mining and shoreline development project and does not contain information about Sea-Tac Airport noise policy.

This is a public comment form from a March 11, 2004 King County meeting about the Miller, Walker, and Salmon Creek Basin Plan, asking residents for input on salmon restoration efforts and environmental priorities. The form poses questions about whether it is worthwhile to restore fish runs in Salmon Creek given no fish have been seen for roughly 20 years, and how to prioritize restoration of Lake Hicks and related projects. It also asks residents how much they would be willing to contribute through increased taxes and fees to fund these efforts.
